Benchmade-Blue Class-Series

The Benchmade Blue Class represents the brand's core Everyday Carry (EDC) range according to the manufacturer - knives designed to be used as tools day in and day out. The Blue Class includes various types (including folders, fixed blades, and balisongs), with Benchmade explicitly citing balisongs as part of its own roots. Fittingly, Benchmade's history began with founder Les De Asis, who started in the late 1970s making balisongs under the name Bali-Song, Inc. - this origin still shapes the brand today and explains why this tradition remains visible in the Blue Class.
